January 30, 2022,Westwärts vom Winde geplagt🥵, ostwärts vom Winde davongejagt 🐎🌬🤣

Today I followed the advice of a good friend and started my tour in the very strong windy conditions, first to the west on the somewhat hilly route (that's where the wind came today), and then on the return trip from Vilshofen to Passau on the Danube cycle path with the tailwind to enjoy.

What a day today 🙈...

I actually wanted to stay at home after work this afternoon with the 🐷 weather, rest, do nothing, just be lazy...

May 8, 2022,Verdauungsfahrt 🍕 🇮🇹 🍷😋

The headline is actually self-explanatory 😁.
Due to a spontaneous invitation to the 🇮🇹 - where of course I couldn't say no - I had to work off the excess calories of the delicious 🍕 and 🍷 right after the longer meeting before my "e"sel 🐎 got postural damage because of my threatening, excessive and permissible system weight 🤣😅🙃.
